How it Works:

Vermont Works manages capital raised by investors to provide necessary funds to businesses that are growing out of the start-up phase. In addition to capital, the investment firm is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for businesses poised to make a positive impact on Vermont. Visit Vermont Works

About the Partnership:

A number of Vermont organizations offer seed capital for start-ups to support entrepreneurs develop their burgeoning businesses. Among these organizations are Milk Money, VCET (Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies), Vermont Community Foundation, Fresh Tracks, and many more. While capital and resources abound for early stage business development, the same is not true for growth stage development. This is the gap that Vermont Works fills, making equity investments in existing companies that are expected to grow, expand, or restructure. VSECU powers Vermont Works through its wholly owned, independently operated subsidiary Vermont Heritage Financial Group, Inc.

Investments made through Vermont Works are not federally insured by NCUA, involve investment risk, may lose value and are not obligations of or guaranteed by the credit union.
